● The short answer
Floyd Schofield (19-0, 13 KOs) meets Lucas Bahdi (20-0, 15 KOs) for the vacant WBA lightweight title on Saturday, October 10, 2026, at the Wintrust Arena in Chicago, live on DAZN in a Golden Boy card. The belt was stripped from the inactive Gervonta Davis. In the co-feature, WBC and WBA flyweight titleholder Ricardo Sandoval defends against Oscar Collazo, the lineal and WBO and WBA strawweight champion, who moves up two weight classes for the fight.
There is no champion in the ring on Saturday night in Chicago, only two unbeaten fighters who both think the WBA lightweight belt should already be theirs.
The main event
Floyd Schofield (19-0, 13 KOs) and Lucas Bahdi (20-0, 15 KOs) fight for the 135-pound title taken from the inactive Gervonta Davis. That is a combined 39-0 record, one of the cleaner two-way matchups the lightweight division has offered this year. Bahdi has the longer record and the higher knockout count; Schofield has the profile and the Golden Boy platform at the Wintrust Arena.
The co-feature
The second bout is the one with the bigger physical question. Ricardo Sandoval, the WBC and WBA flyweight titleholder, defends against Oscar Collazo, the lineal and WBO and WBA strawweight champion, who is moving up two weight classes for the fight he has called for. Weight jumps like that have a mixed history: a champion gives up some of the speed that carried him at the lower limit, and has to prove his power travels.

Bigger picture
For fans of Mexican boxing, October is the busy month: Emanuel Navarrete fights O'Shaquie Foster in a unification on October 24 (Navarrete vs. Foster (in Spanish)), and Canelo Álvarez challenges Christian Mbilli on October 31 in Riyadh (the breakdown).
The lesson
Unbeaten records are not equal. A 20-0 or 19-0 means different things depending on who stood across the ring. If you are building your own fight record, or just your own gym résumé, seek out the opponent who makes you uncomfortable instead of one who flatters the number.
A zero in the loss column is a number. Saturday is the first night either man learns what it is worth.
